First, I am not a lawyer and I didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but the concept of a lockdown seems to be poorly defined in legal terms:

What are police allowed to force you to do under a “lockdown”?

What rights does a citizen forfeit under a “lockdown”?

How long can a “lockdown” last?

Who has the authority to impose a “lockdown” and who has the authority to end one?

I wonder if open-carry proponents would be as eager to exercise their right to open carry during a lockdown…

Second, it appears that lockdowns are becoming more frequent. Given the track record of the current administration, it is not unreasonable to predict that they will become even more frequent, perhaps even perpetual. With our NSA Big Brother watching everyone, there will be no shortage of excuses to impose lockdowns.
